World Malaria Report 2018

In November 2017, I signalled to the international community that the global response to malaria had stalled and we risked losing some of the precious gains we have made over thepast 20 years. One year on, the data in this year’s World malaria report reconfirms that we are off course to meet two critical 2020 milestones of the WHO Global Technical Strategy for Malaria 2016-2030: reducing case incidence and death rates by at least 40% from 2015 levels. There are two findings that I find particularly worrying: first, several countries that carry a disproportionate burden of disease have reported increases in malaria cases, setting us back even further; and second, the level of investment in malaria control remains inadequate.The World malaria report 2018 estimates that there were 219 million cases of malaria in 2017. The 10 highest burden African countries saw an estimated 3.5 million more malaria cases in 2017 compared with the previous year.
